What the hell? I have to be good at something...

[grim_hellfire]

I just don't seem to be very good at anything. I can't do a damn thing properly without someone telling me how. I don't get it. I just suck at life. I have to find something (academic/hobby/language/labor) that I'm good at and just stick with that, because I seem to fuck up everything I do. That's all, nothing more.

Are you fucking things up because you aren't really trying? I have found that Law is very hard and it doesn't come easily to me; very frustrating for someone who didn't have to work hard at anything until maybe her senior year of college. I am afraid that I will fuck things up for someone and they will have to pay the price for my incompetence. But, I also find that I feel really good when I accomplish something, when I get a good grade, or simply finish a project.

Don't look for something that comes easily to you, find something that you enjoy working hard at and that you get a good feeling of accomplishment at the end.

Good call. Thanks.

I guess there are just times when I feel really bad and just get down on myself. But you're right, I really need to find something I enjoy working hard at, and I think that is, at least in terms of academics, language. I really enjoy learning to read, write, and speak a foreign tongue. Now I have to find an application that I really enjoy for language - one that benefits other people as well as myself.

Thanks again, it really helps.
